SUMMARY:B Corp Month: The Value of Design - Beyond Compliance to Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:Design is often misunderstood as aesthetics or branding. Yet in reality\, design is one of the most powerful levers businesses have to translate purpose into practice. \nAs part of B Corp Month 2026\, this webinar explores how design\, when treated as an operating model rather than an add‑on\, moves organisations beyond compliance and into inspiration. \nFramed around the B Corp Month theme for 2026\, this session brings together four leaders from certified B Corps who apply design across very different contexts\, from the built environment to global operations to large‑scale organisational systems. \nLearn more: https://events.humanitix.com/b-corp-month-the-value-of-design-from-compliance-to-inspiration \n
